NFDI4Microbiota - Bioinformatics Workshop: Introduction to R
by Paulmann, Carmen
Dear NFDI4Microbiota followers,
NFDI4Microbiota is pleased to announce our next bioinformatics workshop: “Introduction to R - NFDI4Microbiota and DZIF Training Course 2025”. This workshop will take place on June 23-25, 2025 and will be held online. The workshop’s language is English.
The aim of this seminar is to give participants with little or no experience of working with R the opportunity to close their knowledge gaps and determine whether R can be used in their own research. Topics range from the basics for getting started to advanced examples of using R in practical research.
This course is suitable for people who are not familiar with R.
Further information about the program and registration:
https://events.hifis.net/event/2575/
The deadline for applications is June 6.
Places are limited - apply soon to avoid disappointment!
We look forward to your participation in this exciting workshop and hope to see you soon!

NFDI4Microbiota - Reminder: Community Workshop on 15 May 2025, 1:00 - 3:00 pm, online
by Paulmann, Carmen
Dear NFDI4Microbiota followers,
This is a friendly reminder of the 7th edition of the NFDI4Microbiota Community Workshop.
The NFDI4Microbiota consortium is in process of writing the renewal proposal for the next funding period. Now we need your feedback on our future work program!
Topics on which we need your feedback:
* How do we best support researchers in efficiently submitting microbiological data with comprehensive metadata into the designated repositories?
* How can Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) help to efficiently document your research?
* How can experimental workflow become easily reusable and cititable?
* Metadata management & Linked Data - What do you need for quick and easy management?
* Finding and deciding on which quality approved analysis scripts and packages to use for your own analysis?
and other topics and burning questions for which we want to offer solutions in the near and far future.
Join us to offer your insights and help shape the future work of NFDI4Microbiota: What are your pain points, have you found solutions and what is still missing?
Let's shape the future of the microbiological research landscape together!
Feel free to forward the meeting invite to your colleagues.
